I dont run either of those hoses off my waterpump, theyre both blanked off. Have a high flow thermostat and electric fan and it runs at about 70c gets up to about 90 in traffic or big hills

I have to agree with everyone else, 19s are to big on the old girls. And it makes them handle like crap.

Starter motor getting a bit tired?My old man had a ford that used to do that when it was hot.His starter was toast

Mine does the same.I replaced the stalk with a new one and it still does it.

Stripped some paint off and found some rust.Welded some ****, drank some beer

The salisburys hold up OK.Ive been running mine for a year now and it gets abused,a little bit whiney but no problems yet

Mines lowered on kingsprings superlows all round and monroe shocks.Got a bigger swaybar in the front (30mm i think??) and the standard swaybar in the back with new bushes.Rides quite well for an old commodore.You can put in better shocks etc but it gets to rigid ive found,you end up bouncing...

Sweet as,How do you tell a brock manifold from a standard one?

Hi all, Ive got a mild 308 in my VK.Flat top pistons 30 thou over,mild cam,pacemaker headers into 2.5 mandrel exhaust joining to one three inch before diff and a holley 600.Am vurrently running standard red heads and a torker manifold.Its currently making 132 kw and 677 nm torque. Next week i...

I know you say it has spark but have you tryed giving it a squirt of ether just to make sure its fuel problem??If youve mentioned this already,sorry my bad,little bit drunk. Also hve you checked the gear on base of dizzy?mine **** itself and i still had spark but wouldnt run.Commo problem with...

Id be going with timing as well

You gotta love t when people dont read the thread before posting. Tim89 I just got it back off the dyno in Friday.It was leaning out had to increase 2 jet sizes on main jets and replace advance spring in dizzy. I opened a catalogue at work today and saw an ad for an exhaust shop having a a...

Wateva you do just make sure you reseal the hole in the floor as good as you can,othrewise you get a heap of fumes through there

If youv got no hills load it up in top gear and see if it pings

Yea its a shame it drops off like that.For now it will have to do,ive run out of money again and it needs a bit of suspension work doing on it.Hopefully once thats done its VN head time

Got around to sorting flat spots and timing issues properly yesterday.Took the VK down to my nearest dyno tuning centre.They put it on and it put out 123.8kw and 631nm torque at the wheels.Was leaning out something wicked though.They went up two jet sizes on primary side of carb (could of even...

Put it all back together after fixing rust and went or a little drive.May have destroyed back tyres also...

VBRED the pedal is a little higher but you dont really notice it when your driving.It selects all gears fine.Yea im running a T5 and before that i had a celica box, no issues there either

Ive got a 6 cylinder one in mine and it works fine.Clutch isnt even heavy

If your budget allows id go LS1,Theyre a great motor easy to get alot of power from to

Finally got the sills ready for paint,then i can put guards on and go driving.Then bring it back in and take out my windscreen and fix more rust.

No point doing head gasket,thats a whole lot more work for nothing..And jonnoos right sometimes it can be as simple as bad oil

Looked at the VK again and thought i should carry on with ti.Then put slotted discs and new pads on the VX

Looked at it and thought i should really finish doing the rust in the sill,and maybe put the dash back together. Or i could just throw a match in it and be done with it

It all depends on the off set of the wheel.I put my 19s off my VX on the VK to see waht it was like.Had 245/35 on the rear and 235/35s on the front.Didnt rub once.Did a couple hundred kms with them on as well.Made it drive like a pig though.It tracked the road really bad I was constantly...

I agree with SLE NuT that speedo isnt the normal one

How do you wait that long before you drink a beer Ari??God I have to crack one as soon as i see the rust

Sucks you have to sell mate.Than again Now you get to start again with a fresh one!!

You havent got the dizzy in half a turn out??Easy mistake to make

As hangman says its a better length for the early girls.Over here in NZ at least, you cant get your hands on a good one out of either easily.Theyre dissapearing quickly

YOur better off with a T5.Get a Falcon EA onwards T5 and its a easy conversion.Shifter lines up to..Fairly strong box as well.I personally find them nicer than the getrag box as well

Each to thier own. Im in NZ to Mike and couldnt find one.The six cyl one has worked fine for me.Feels sweet,works sweet.If you cant get an eight one use a six and if you dont like it you can always change it later...

If you can find them

Really?Ive had no issues with mine at all.It feels better than the clutch in my VN ute

Im using a VK 6 cylinder peadl box in my VK with a T5 and it works fine.The pedal sits a little higher than the brake and accelerator pedals but after a while you dont even notice it

Thats weird you should be able to get one easily.Theres a place in hamilton called Holden Haven,they should have something.Or I deal with a guy in Kopu, Thames called Arrow auto parts.His number is 078689217.He should have something.If you dont have any luck give me a ring on 0212321584 and ill...

You undo that bolt on the clamp at the base of the dizzy.Then itl just lift out.Think the gear was held onto it with a roll pin from memory

Its affected the firewall more than anything else.Iv got the guards off already so i could do the sills,Pulled the dash out today and i still cant see it.Its guna have to be welded from the engine bay.I can see the repiar on the passenger side but cant see up into the driver side for some...

Yea will try to post sum today.The front scuttle isnt to bad,someones already done the left side just gotta do the right side.The sills were quite bad,the back screen looks quite bad someones bogged it up previously.Then theres just a few bubbles on rear guards and a couple on doors etc.

Hey all,have bben tackling the rust in my VK over the last few weeks.What started off as a few bubbles in the sills has turned into a major.Have done both sills and the passenger floor pan.Now I need to do the front scuttle. Whats the best way to get at it??If you remove the dash can you get...
